In another thread yesterday, we were all commenting on a 9kt bracelet and there was a back and forth between us over the points in the clasp's crown.

In the process of our back and forth over it, I called him a "Numbnuts"

.

In print, it looked rather harsh...and then the thread was locked. I just wanted to say that, as difficult as it may be to beleive, I meant you no animosity.

Growing up, "numbnuts" was actually a semi-affectionate way of my dad telling us we did (or we were doing) something stupid

So that is most likely why I was chuckling as I typed it and thought nothing wrong about the post.

So I just wanted to say I'm sorry and please don't take it personally

I called him an interrigator, but then again.......he said he was.

I agree Allen, to me, the term would hardly be an insult, heck, I'd take it as a compliment!

But, we've also got to remember that TRF is an international organization and we have dozens of different languages and cultures on here. Yeah, I thought him getting upset was an over-reaction, but I admire your character for starting a thread to apologize.

Yes 67K of apologies will not hit the target.

Mosco · 8 February 2010, 04:43 AM

Cooper, hats off. IMO, he brought it upon himself, but you're showing to be a true gent!!

I value my membership here and thought I should clear the air. As others have rightfully said, things typed often don't convey what is intended.

Good for you, it's nice to see some class on here!

I called him rude and arrogant - I am standing by those comments, he did bring them on himself. So, while I admire you for apologizing, I am going to stick with my comments and blame it on the New Yorker in me - I call 'em as I see 'em!

It did make yesterday morning less than boring to watch us all get our blood boiled with that guy.

It was a great thread. One of the types that makes this place quite lively. When one of those threads gets going and the free-for-all ensures, it's a kick to scroll down to see who is on the thread at that moment and see something like 20 people!

Safetrends · 8 February 2010, 05:36 AM

I try my best to not piss off people on TRF, however it happens and we make it right by public apologies and move on. I do not mind making a public apologies to someone if I am wrong and I am glad others like you can do the same. Some words we use may not seem to be taken the wrong way however other people it might because of language and different countries we live in, and I got into trouble that way.

snow_rocks · 8 February 2010, 05:45 AM

I still want to know what a Dolex band is, how rare it is, and where one might be had,

at a reasonable price of course!

Jocke · 8 February 2010, 06:03 AM

Was it 9K of SS?

DarkHorse · 8 February 2010, 09:55 PM

So in fact being called numbnuts is a compliment in many ways =]

Dave, not so complementary when its coming from my wife

ParisDakarBmw · 9 February 2010, 02:02 AM

I'm going to use that on the street. "Hey Numbnuts you dropped your wallet"
"Numbnuts, did someone call 911?" "It looks like you didn't stop at the stop sign Numbnuts" That probably wouldn't go over so well.

I see where you were coming from. A little sarcasm can me too much for some. I had to tone it down myself.

TheVTCGuy · 9 February 2010, 02:02 AM

You know, I think I need to apologize too... Don't know to who or for what, but I'm sure I'll piss off somebody on here someday!

TheVTCGuy · 9 February 2010, 02:04 AM

P.S. That should read: "Piss off somebody... AGAIN"

Hey! You want just points or a full-blown ban for that, Paul?

Growing up, "numbnuts" was actually a semi-affectionate way of my dad telling us we did (or we were doing) something stupid

SO, let me see if I understand this. You are apologizing because you called him "numbnuts" from the semi-affectionate way? .....but you meant from the non-affectionate way?!
